Implementation of 2021 Wassenaar Arrangement Decisions

AGENCY: Bureau of Industry and Security, Commerce.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) maintains, as part 
of its Export Administration Regulations (EAR), the Commerce Control 
List (CCL), which identifies certain items subject to Department of 
Commerce jurisdiction. During the December 2021 Wassenaar Arrangement 
on Export Controls for Conventional Arms and Dual-Use Goods and 
Technologies (WA) Plenary meeting, Participating States of the WA 
(Participating State) made certain decisions affecting the WA control 
lists, which BIS is now implementing via amendments to the CCL. On 
August 15, 2022, BIS published a final rule that implemented some of 
these decisions by adding to the CCL four technologies that met the 
criteria for emerging or foundational technologies under Section 1758 
of the Export Control Reform Act of 2018 (ECRA). This final rule 
implements the remaining controls agreed to during the December 2021 WA 
Plenary meeting by revising the CCL, as well as certain EAR provisions, 
including License Exception Adjusted Peak Performance (APP). This final 
rule also makes corrections to align the scope of Significant Item (SI) 
license requirements throughout the EAR and makes a revision to License 
Exception Strategic Trade Authorization (STA).

DATES: This rule is effective February 24, 2023 except for the 
amendments to Sec.  740.7(d)(3)(i) and (ii) (instruction 5) and to 
supplement no. 1 to part 774 ECCNs 4A003, 4D001, and 4D001 (instruction 
13), which are effective March 14, 2023.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The WA (https://www.wassenaar.org/) is a group of 42 like-minded 
states committed to promoting responsibility and transparency in the 
global arms trade and preventing destabilizing accumulations of 
conventional weapons. As a Participating State of the WA, the United 
States has committed to controlling for export all items on the WA's 
List of Dual-Use Goods and Technologies (WA Dual-Use List) and on the 
WA Munitions List (together, WA control lists). The WA control lists 
were first established in 1996 and have been revised annually 
thereafter. Participating States have agreed to implement the changes 
to the WA control lists as soon as possible after agreed upon by the WA 
Plenary. The United States' implementation of WA control list changes 
ensures that U.S. companies have a level playing field with their 
competitors in other Participating States.
    BIS published an interim final rule on August 15, 2022 (87 FR 
49979), implementing four new controls on items meeting the criteria of 
Section 1758 of ECRA, which were part of the revisions to the WA 
control lists decided by Participating States at the December 2021 WA 
Plenary meeting. The changes to the CCL and related EAR parts made by 
this rule reflect the remaining revisions to the WA control lists 
decided during the December 2021 WA Plenary meeting. The rule also 
makes related clarifying edits to CCL entries and revisions to reflect 
technical advancements. Unless explicitly discussed below, the 
revisions made by this rule will not impact the number of license 
applications submitted to BIS.

Revisions to the Commerce Control List Related to WA 2021 Plenary 
Meeting Decisions

    Revises (16) ECCNs: 1A613, 1C006, 2E003, 3A001, 3A002, 4A003, 
4D001, 4E001, 5A003, 6A005, 6A008, 6D003, 7D003, 9A004, 9B001, and 
9E003.
    Removed (1) ECCN: 0A988.

0A988 Conventional Military Steel Helmets

    In a rule issued on January 2, 2014 (79 FR 264), effective July 1, 
2014, BIS moved conventional steel helmets from ECCN 0A988 to newly 
added ECCN 1A613.y.1. ECCN 0A988 remained on the CCL but contained only 
a brief explanation that the control for these helmets had been moved 
to 1A613.y.1. Given the time that has elapsed since relocation of the 
control for these helmets, the explanation under paragraph 0A988, along 
with the entry itself, are no longer necessary. BIS is therefore 
removing ECCN 0A988 from the CCL.

1A613 Armored and Protective ``Equipment'' and Related Commodities

    This rule revises 1A613.c ``military helmets'' by removing the 
phrase ``and ``specially designed'' helmet shells, liners, or comfort 
pads therefor.'', because it is duplicative of items that are already 
controlled under 1A613.x, specifically, any specially designed parts, 
components, or accessories would be controlled under 1A613.x, including 
the shells, liners, and pads currently specified in 1A613.c. In 
paragraph 1A613.c, this rule adds Note 3, which lists characteristics 
of items that are not controlled by 1A613.c, e.g., first manufactured 
before 1970. The same language is added as a note to 1A613.y.1. The 
note below 1A613.x, which addresses examples of items controlled by 
this ECCN, is revised to improve readability.

1C006 Fluids and Lubricating Materials

    This rule revises 1C006.b by removing paragraph b.2 (Fluorinated 
silicone fluids), because extensive market research submitted to the WA 
indicates that in the past two decades countries that are not 
Participating States have either developed or obtained the expertise to 
produce fluorinated silicone fluids. Due to the availability of this 
item in countries that are not Participating States, the Participating 
States decided to remove it from their control lists. BIS is 
accordingly removing the item from the CCL. Items previously controlled 
under 1C006.b.2 are now EAR99 and remain subject to the EAR.

Annex to Category 1--List of Explosives (See ECCNs 1A004 and 1A008)

    This rule revises the Annex to Category 1 of the CCL by adding two

[[Page 12109]]

explosives under two entries, numbers 51 and 52, to the List of 
Explosives: EDNA (Ethylenedinitramine) (CAS 505-71-5); and TKX-50 
(Dihydroxylammonium 5,5'-bistetrazole-1,1'-diolate). These two 
explosives were added in 2017 and 2018, respectively, to the WA 
Munitions List (ML 8.a.), and were added for consistency's sake to the 
List of Explosives set forth in the Annex of Category 1 of the WA 
Munitions List as part of the December 2021 WA Plenary. TKX-50 
(Dihydroxylammonium 5,5'-bistetrazole-1,1'-diolate) is a high energetic 
material that outperforms numerous common explosives widely used today. 
For this reason, it was added to the WA Munitions List in 2018. EDNA is 
a legacy explosive standardized as a military explosive during World 
War II. EDNA has been studied in several countries but due to its lower 
energetic properties, it is not yet in full-scale use. Nevertheless, 
because EDNA has great potential for gun propellants applications, it 
was added to the WA Munitions List in 2017.

2E003 Other ``Technology''

    This rule removes 2E003.b.2 (Technical data consisting of process 
methods) from the CCL. The control on the parameters described in 
2E003.b.2 has remained unchanged since the establishment of the WA 
Dual-Use List in 1996. Since that date, each of the four processes 
described in 2E003.b.2.a-d. have entered common commercial use, e.g., 
golf clubs and automobile manufacturing. Therefore, there is no longer 
a reason to control the technical data specified in 2E003.b.2. on the 
CCL. This rule also deletes a note in the CCL related to one of the 
technologies in 2E003.b.2 and adds a nota bene (N.B.) regarding gas 
turbine engines.

Category 3--Electronics Notes

    This rule revises Note 1 to Category 3 by adding 3A001.b.12 to the 
list of 3A001 subparagraphs that are not within the scope of the note, 
i.e., if a 3A001.b.12 item is specially designed for or has the same 
functional characteristics as other equipment, then it remains 
classified as 3A001.b.12.

3A001 Electronic Items & 3A002 General Purpose ``Electronic 
Assemblies,'' Modules and Equipment

    This rule amends paragraph 3A001.b.4.b.1 by correcting the 
specified power output in decibel-milliwatts (dBm) from 48.54 dBm to 
48.45 dBm. It also makes two additional technical corrections by adding 
``a'' in 3A002.c.2 before ``Displayed Average Noise Level'' and in 
3A002.d.4 before ``single sideband''.
    This rule revises paragraphs 3A001.b.11.e (`frequency synthesizer' 
``electronic assemblies''), 3A002.d.3.e (signal generators with 
specified ``frequency switching times''), and 3A002.d.5.c (signal 
generators with specified `RF modulation bandwidth' of digital baseband 
signals) by decreasing the upper limit of the specified frequency range 
from 90 gigahertz (GHz) to 75 GHz. The upper limit of 75 GHz now 
applies to 3A001.b.11.e, 3A002.d.3.e, and 3A002.d.5.c, which have a 
``frequency switching time'' of ``less than 100 [mu]s for any frequency 
change exceeding 2.2 GHz.''
    The Participating States decided to expand certain frequency ranges 
to account for higher signal generator Radio Frequency (RF) modulation 
bandwidth at millimeter-wave frequencies, specifically within the 60 to 
90 GHz band (E-band), required for automotive anti-collision radar. 
Specifically, the 76 to 81 GHz frequency band has been allocated for 
automotive radar in the United States and Europe. Moreover, electronic 
assemblies and signal generator requirements for automotive radar 
millimeter-wave applications will require RF modulated outputs over a 
bandwidth larger than the former control limit of 2.2 GHz RF modulation 
bandwidth.
    Accordingly, 3A001.b.11.f is added as a new paragraph to control 
`frequency synthesizer' ``electronic assemblies'' having a ``frequency 
switching time'' of ``less than 100 [micro]s for any frequency change 
exceeding 5.0 GHz within the synthesized frequency range exceeding 75 
GHz but not exceeding 90 GHz.'' This rule also adds paragraph 
3A002.d.3.g to control signal generators having a ``frequency switching 
time'' of ``Less than 100 [micro]s for any frequency change exceeding 
5.0 GHz within the frequency range exceeding 75 GHz but not exceeding 
90 GHz;'' and adds paragraph 3A002.d.5.d to control signal generators 
with a `RF modulation bandwidth' of digital baseband signals 
``Exceeding 5.0 GHz within the frequency range exceeding 75 GHz but not 
exceeding 90 GHz.''

4A003 ``Digital Computers''

    Prior to the publication of this rule, 4A003.b specified an APP 
threshold of 29 Weighted TeraFLOPS (WT) for ``digital computers''. 
However, for those Participating States that manufacture digital 
computer systems, including 32-socket servers that have approached this 
29 WT threshold, such digital computer systems would likely exceed this 
APP threshold if built with the latest generation microprocessor in 
2022 or in the near future. Additionally, there is an increased demand 
for database servers across a broad range of industries including 
business planning, banking/financial transactions, healthcare, genetic 
research, and fraud detection. To reflect these circumstances, the 
Participating States decided to raise the control threshold from 29 WT 
to 70 WT. The Participating States determined that this increase in 
control threshold would provide sufficient margin for a few years' 
growth before another adjustment would be necessary.
    Accordingly, this rule raises the APP threshold for ``digital 
computers'' in 4A003.b from ``exceeding 29 Weighted TeraFLOPS (WT)'' to 
``exceeding 70 Weighted TeraFLOPS (WT).'' Consistent with this change, 
the Antiterrorism (AT) license requirement paragraph in the License 
Requirements section of 4A003 and the Note that follows the license 
requirement table are also amended by changing the specified APP 
threshold from 29 to 70 WT. The Congressional notification requirement 
set forth in subsection 1211(d) of the National Defense Authorization 
Act for Fiscal Year 1998 (Pub. L. 105-85, November 18, 1997, 111 Stat. 
1629, 1932-1933, as amended; 50 U.S.C. 4604 note) provides that the 
President must submit a report to Congress 60 days before adjusting the 
composite theoretical performance level above which exports of digital 
computers to Tier 3 countries require a license. The submission of this 
report has been delegated to the Secretary of Commerce. On January 13, 
2023, the Secretary of Commerce submitted to Congress a report that 
establishes and provides justification for the 70 WT control level 
using the APP formula. Therefore, this revision will become effective 
on March 14, 2023. BIS estimates that this revision will result in no 
change to license application submissions, because this revision is 
keeping pace with advancements in HPC technology.
    This rule makes a correction by removing 4A003.e from the national 
security license requirements, because there currently is no paragraph 
4A003.e.

4D001 ``Software'' & 4E001 ``Technology''

    In light of the change made to the APP threshold in 4A003.b, this 
rule makes conforming changes to the APP threshold in the License 
Exception Technology and Software under Restriction (TSR) eligibility 
paragraph and to the Special Conditions for STA paragraph under ECCNs 
4D001 and 4E001 that raise the specified APP threshold from 29 WT to 70 
WT. These

[[Page 12110]]

revisions will become effective on March 14, 2023.

Sec.  740.7 License Exception Adjusted Peak Performance (APP)

    This rule amends License Exception APP to raise the APP eligibility 
levels for deemed exports of ``technology'' and ``software'' source 
code destined to foreign nationals of Computer Tiers 1 and 3 Countries. 
These levels, which are recommended by industry groups in consultation 
with BIS, are raised to better enable the advancement of 
``development,'' ``production,'' and ``use'' ``technology'' and 
``software'' in the area of computer manufacturing, which in turn 
promotes advancements in military technology that bolster the national 
security of the United States.

Computer Tier 1 Revisions

    This rule amends Sec.  740.7(c)(3)(ii) by raising the APP from 40 
WT to 175 WT for eligible deemed exports of ``development'' and 
``production'' technology and source code to foreign nationals of Tier 
1 countries. It also amends Sec.  740.7(c)(3)(iii) by raising the APP 
from 200 WT to 500 WT for eligible deemed exports of ``use'' technology 
and source code to foreign nationals of Computer Tier 1 countries.

Computer Tier 3 Revisions

    This rule amends Sec.  740.7(d)(3)(i) by raising the APP from 16 WT 
to 50 WT for eligible deemed exports of ``development'' and 
``production'' technology and source code to foreign nationals of Tier 
3 countries. It also amends Sec.  740.7(d)(3)(ii) by raising the APP 
from 32 WT to 140 WT for eligible deemed exports of ``use'' technology 
and source code to foreign nationals of Computer Tier 3 countries which 
becomes effective March 14, 2023.

License Exception Strategic Trade Authorization Revision

    This rule adds new paragraph (b)(2)(viii)(A) to Sec.  740.20 
License Exception Strategic Trade Authorization (STA) to harmonize this 
license exception with the STA special condition under ECCN 9B001 that 
states that STA may not be used for a Country Group A:6 destination. 
Consistent with this addition, this rule redesignates existing 
subparagraphs (A)-(F) as (B)-(G). This revision to STA aligns with 
BIS's goal to clarify restrictions on the availability of STA for the 
export, reexport, and transfer (in-country) of certain items controlled 
under the EAR as set forth in the preamble of a proposed rule published 
on October 22, 2021 (86 FR 58615). This revision is also generally 
responsive to a public comment received in response to that rule that 
is supportive of BIS's efforts to clarify restrictions on STA's 
availability. BIS is reviewing other public comments that it received 
in response to that rule and will address them in a separate final rule 
at a future date.
    As set forth below, this rule also makes certain revisions to ECCN 
9B001.

5A003 ``Systems,'' ``Equipment'' and ``Components,'' for Non-
Cryptographic ``Information Security''

    This rule revises 5A003.a to replace the word ``using'' with the 
words ``to use,'' to clarify that the scope of controls applies to 
communication cable systems that were designed or modified to employ 
either mechanical, electrical or electronic means to detect 
surreptitious intrusion, not communication cable systems that were 
designed or modified by utilizing mechanical, electrical or electronic 
means.

6A005 ``Lasers'', ``Components'' and Optical Equipment

    6A005.d.1.b.1 applies to individual `multiple-transverse mode' 
semiconductor ``lasers'' with an average or continuous wave (CW) output 
power exceeding 15 watts (W). This is a relatively low output power 
value. Multiple-transverse mode semiconductor lasers can achieve much 
higher powers and are now readily available outside of Participating 
States in an increasing number of commercial applications. For this 
reason, this rule revises 6A005.d.1.b.1 by increasing the average or CW 
output power from 15 W to 25 W for individual `multiple-transverse 
mode' semiconductor ``lasers.''

6A008 Radar Systems, Equipment and Assemblies

    This rule revises Technical Note 1, which appears after the Note to 
6A008.l, by replacing the word ``used'' with the word ``designed'' to 
clarify that the scope of the note applies to marine radars that are 
designed for civil application rather than to marine radars used for 
civil application.

6D003 Other ``Software''

    This rule revises 6D003.h.1, which refers to certain Air Traffic 
Control ``software application programs'', by deleting the words 
``application programs,'' which are superfluous in this context. The 
word ``software'' sufficiently describes the scope of controlled under 
6D003.h.1.

7D003 Other ``Software''

    This rule makes an editorial revision to 7D003.e by adding a hyphen 
between the words ``circulation'' and ``controlled'' that appears after 
the word helicopter; as revised, the reference is to ``helicopter 
circulation-controlled anti-torque or circulation-controlled direction 
control systems,'' which is a defined term in Sec.  772.1 of the EAR.

9A004 Space Launch Vehicles and ``Spacecraft,'' ``Spacecraft Buses'', 
``Spacecraft Payloads'', ``Spacecraft'' On-Board Systems or Equipment, 
Terrestrial Equipment, and Air-Launch Platforms

    This rule adds ``sub-orbital craft'' to the heading of ECCN 9A004 
and to paragraph 9A004.g. Based on this addition, 9A004.g now controls 
``aircraft'' ``specially designed'' or modified to be air-launch 
platforms for ``sub-orbital craft.'' This change is being made to 
reflect the fact that ``aircraft'' ``specially designed'' or modified 
to be air-launch platforms for sub-orbital craft may be 
indistinguishable from ``aircraft'' ``specially designed'' or modified 
to be air-launch platforms for space launch vehicles.

9B001 Manufacturing Equipment, Tooling or Fixtures

    This rule revises 9B001.c by broadening the control in two 
respects. First, it replaces ``specially designed'' with ``designed'', 
and second, it replaces the phrase ``manufacturing gas turbine engine 
blades, vanes or ``tip shrouds'' '' with ``superalloys'', a broader 
term referring to certain highly durable materials. As revised, the 
text mirrors the control in 9B001.a, which covers directional 
solidification or single crystal casting equipment designed for 
``superalloys.'' In particular, the revised control focuses on 
additive-manufacturing equipment designed to work with a certain type 
of material (``superalloys''), rather than on the three manufactured 
items (``manufacturing gas turbine engine blades, vanes or ``tip 
shrouds'' ''). These changes are necessary to keep pace with technology 
advancements and modernize controls to address new methods to 
manufacture gas turbine engine components (e.g., blades, vanes, ``tip 
shrouds'') using refractory metals.

9E003 Other ``technology''

    This rule revises the STA special conditions paragraph for ECCN 
9E003 by removing paragraph a.8, and adding paragraphs .c and. i (other 
than technology for fan or power turbines) to match the STA limitation 
paragraph in Sec.  740.20(b)(2)(viii)(D)(1) of the EAR. This revision 
is consistent with BIS's goal, as stated in the preamble of the October 
22, 2021 rule (86 FR 58615), to

[[Page 12111]]

clarify restrictions on the availability of STA for the export, 
reexport, and transfer (in-country) of certain items controlled under 
the EAR.
    This rule also makes an editorial revision to 9E003.a.5 by removing 
a hyphen; as revised, the control applies to ``tip shrouds.''

Significant Items: Hot Section Technology

    A hot section refers to the portion of a gas turbine engine that 
operates at a high temperature, i.e., the combustion, turbine, and 
exhaust sections. This rule makes a correction to the list of items 
included as Significant Items (SI) in Sec. Sec.  734.4(a)(4)'s de 
minimis rules and in 742.14(a) and (b). The list included 9E003.j wing-
folding systems, which is not hot section technology, but did not 
include 9E003.k, `` ``Technology'' not otherwise controlled in 
9E003.a.1 through a.8, a.10, and .h and used in the ``development'', 
``production'', or overhaul of hot section ``parts'' or ``components'' 
of civil derivatives of military engines controlled on the USML.'' This 
revision will align these corrected sections of the EAR with the SI 
license requirements in 9E003.

Part 772--Definitions of Terms

    This rule amends Sec.  772.1 by revising the definitions of the 
terms ``compensation systems'' and ``diffusion bonding.'' The 
definition of ``compensation systems'' is clarified by adding the word 
``the'' in the phrase ``that permit reduction of [the] rigid body 
rotation noise of the platform.'' The definition of the term 
``diffusion bonding'' is amended by removing the reference to Category 
9 in the parenthetical that lists where this term is used in the CCL, 
because it is not used in Category 9.

Savings Clause

    Shipments of items removed from license exception eligibility or 
eligibility for export, reexport or transfer (in-country) without a 
license as a result of this regulatory action that were on dock for 
loading, on lighter, laden aboard an exporting carrier, or en route 
aboard a carrier to a port of export, on February 24, 2023, pursuant to 
actual orders for exports, reexports and transfers (in-country) to a 
foreign destination, may proceed to that destination under the previous 
license exception eligibility or without a license so long as they have 
been exported, reexported or transferred (in-country) before April 18, 
2023. Any such items not actually exported, reexported or transferred 
(in-country) before midnight, on April 18, 2023, require a license in 
accordance with this final rule.

Export Control Reform Act of 2018

    On August 13, 2018, the President signed into law the John S. 
McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019, which 
included the ECRA, 50 U.S.C. 4801-4852. ECRA provides the legal basis 
for BIS's principal authorities and serves as the authority under which 
BIS issues this rule.

Rulemaking Requirements

    1. Executive Orders 13563 and 12866 direct agencies to assess all 
costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if 
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize 
net benefits (including potential economic, environmental, public 
health and safety effects and distributive impacts and equity). 
Executive Order 13563 emphasizes the importance of quantifying both 
costs and benefits and of reducing costs, harmonizing rules, and 
promoting flexibility.
    This final rule has been designated a ``significant regulatory 
action'' under section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866. This rule does 
not contain policies with Federalism implications as that term is 
defined under Executive Order 13132.
    2. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person is 
required to respond to, nor shall any person be subject to a penalty 
for failure to comply with, a collection of information subject to the 
requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et 
seq.) (PRA), unless that collection of information displays a currently 
valid Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Control Number. Although 
this rule makes important changes to the EAR for items controlled for 
national security reasons, BIS believes that the overall increases in 
burdens and costs associated with the following information collections 
due to this rule will be minimal.
     0694-0088, ``Simplified Network Application Processing 
System,'' which carries a burden- hour estimate of 29.6 minutes for a 
manual or electronic submission;
     0694-0137, ``License Exceptions and Exclusions,'' which 
carries a burden-hour estimate average of 1.5 hours per submission 
(Note: submissions for License Exceptions are rarely required);
     0694-0096, ``Five Year Records Retention Period,'' which 
carries a burden-hour estimate of less than 1 minute; and
     0607-0152, ``Automated Export System (AES) Program,'' 
which carries a burden-hour estimate of 3 minutes per electronic 
submission.
    Additional information regarding these collections of information--
including all background materials--can be found at https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain and using the search function to 
enter either the title of the collection or the OMB Control Number.
